I’m still not back to my full fitness I’d say, and the strength workout on Wednesday more or less incapacitated me for Friday and Saturday (but I still managed to do an ouchy 8 miler on Saturday, which felt ok.

It’s a little embarrassing to say my legs / quads are still a little sore from (my first strength session since April) Wednesday night (and it’s Sunday now), so I’ll need to ease back into it still next week I’d say.

I’m going to stick with 1 full body strength workout next week, on Wednesday again, and due to the pain I had this week, I’ll lower the weights a bit for it. Maybe even do some bodyweight stuff as part of it.

I was squatting around 36kg, deadlifting 46kg and pushing 26kg on the bar last week, so I’ll reduce that this week, by -10kg each. (So I don’t break myself again). There’s plenty time to add weight to my workouts.

I’ll do 4-5 runs, with Tuesday being my first day I run twice a day (building up to running 3 times a day in preparation for the Thunder run 24, 3 runs in 24 hours). I’ll do a morning 5-6 mile run and a lunchtime or evening 4-5 mile run.

Thursday night I’m out to the cinema to see Spy and Friday night I’m going to see my little niece in concert. My runs those days will either be in the morning or at lunchtimes.

At the weekend, I’ll decide if I’m running or resting on the Saturday or not, and I’ll do the opposite on Sunday. Just depends how I feel.

This weekend I had some good sleeps, 9 hours then a 1.5 hour nap and a 9:30 hr sleep on Saturday night so I’m well rested.

I’m going to try to get some good sleeps in next week too. I was well fed too this weekend… Fillet steak and pudding on Saturday night (after my run, after my nap, thanks Dad, Yum.)

I’m driving home today, and spending some q time wi Fit Girl hopefully (along with some food prep later, for the week ahead).
